Flight Talk

 






Versatile Gear Options
Thick grass, gravel paths, dirt trails; you can fly from these and many other surfaces that are impossible for the majority of models of this size to deal with. The robust landing gear is equipped with wheels and oversized tires that take in the bumps of rough surfaces and offer excellent prop clearance. The optional float set (EFL5261, offered separately) features double water rudders for outstanding steering control when flying from lakes and ponds. And the optional, scale-like ski set (EFLA970, offered separately) makes it possible to fly from snow or wet grass.
 



High Power
The factory-installed brushless power system features a 50-amp ESC plus a specially-tuned motor and 3-blade prop that provide an abundance of thrust with a THREE 2200-3200mAh LiPo battery, or more power and limitless vertical efficiency with a FOUR battery without the requirement for any adjustments or upgrades.
 







Very Durable
Composite-reinforced, hollow-core building and construction with EPO product provides a lightweight yet long lasting airframe. Plus the Air Tractor is equipped with long lasting and trustworthy metal-geared servos on all the main control surfaces.
 



LED Lights
The Air Tractor comes with realistic-looking LED landing, navigation and strobe lights that are factory-installed and powered from the flight battery.
 







Easy Assembly
No glue is needed for assembly, and because the few parts that need to be put together easily bolt or snap into place, the Air Tractor can be ready to fly in less time than it requires to charge the flight battery. The two-piece wing and stab also makes transportation and storage as convenient as possible.
 



Scale Trim Scheme
The factory-applied paint and decal surface provides excellent visibility plus a scale look you'll be happy to display all over you go.
 







Bind-N-Fly Completion Level Advantage
Currently own a Spektrum™ transmitter? Bind-N-Fly (BNF) airplane make entering the air rapidly and with the very best control experience possible simpler than ever. They come out of the box with the power system, servos and a Spektrum 2.4GHz receiver installed so all you need to do is bind the receiver to a compatible transmitter, end up any final assembly, and fly!

This Bind-N-Fly Basic design is equipped with a Spektrum 2.4GHz DSMX® receiver including AS3X (Artificial Stabilization–3-aXis) technology that works behind the scenes to smooth out the results of wind and turbulence. The result is a heightened sense of stability and precision that makes you feel like you're flying a much bigger, skillfully tuned aircraft.

If this is your first design of its type, or you desire an extra margin of security while familiarizing yourself with the airplane, you can enable the optional-use SAFE® Select flight envelope security technology developed into the receiver. No shows is needed. Simply alter the binding series as directed in the manual.

With SAFE Select made it possible for, you get:

Pitch and Bank Angle Limits
These envelope limits keep the airplane from rolling or pitching upside down. They also avoid excessive climb or dive angles.

Automatic Self-Leveling
The airplane immediately goes back to and holds level flight when the sticks are launched and in the center position. It's also handy for keeping the wings level throughout takeoffs/launches and landings.

Easy Change Project—No Programs Required
The simple procedure for appointing a transmitter switch to turn SAFE Select features on and off does not require any shows and takes simply a couple of seconds.

If you do not wish to enable the SAFE Select features, simply bind the receiver typically and it will work like a standard AS3X receiver.
